Of Storm and Scoulters.

The Storm of the Immaculate Conception.

Last night winds were recorded in Orkney at 138.5 m.p.h.Here is a brief clip taken from St. Magnus' kitchenat the head of the Steamer Pier, Stronsay.

This morning the storm continued with lower wind speed.

Br Nicodemus Mary checked the monastery boat.

The boat "Charnetsky" was fine.

View of Scoulters.The South End of Stronsay had been without electricity all night.We visited Brian and Margaret who live at Scoulters ...to "talk about the weather"which is always of interest in Orkney!

Valery, Margaret and Brian with HectorMargaret informed us that there is an actual weather forecastespecially for Papa Stronsay!That is exciting news for us!The link is here!

Thank you Father, for these unexpected, undeserved, but greatly appreciated poetic verses. Sadly, Brother Hector, of the ROOES (Royal Order of Old English Sheepdogs) was not too impressed, preferring as you can guess, a biscuit or piece of cake from your own hand! I'm not saying that he would get it, but he would have a good try! Look forward very much, to your next poetic offering. AMDG. Brian and all, at breezy Scoulters.

Antisetimism

"Mark well that in the Catholic Mass, Abraham is our Patriarch and forefather. Antisemitism is incompatible with the lofty thought which that fact expresses. It is a movement with which we Christians can have nothing to do. No, no, I say to you it is impossible for a Christian to take part in Antisemitism. It is inadmissible. Through Christ and in Christ we are the spiritual progeny of Abraham. Spiritually, we [Christians] are all Semites."
